Reviews
The revolutionary insight of this remarkable book arises from the discovery that for Honor Moore and her mother, turning in to their writer selves was also a turning to each other. Gripping and profoundly moving, Our Revolution is also a signal contribution to feminism., Moore shares intimate glimpses of her family life and coming-of-age story, beautifully integrating excerpts from her mother's writing among her own recollections and research.... [A] rich exploration of an individual whose life and family were dramatically altered by second-wave feminism., Our Revolution is the poignant book that Honor Moore was destined to write: a passionate biographical memoir that uncovers, almost five decades after her mother's death, a tale of family, faith, and fortitude--and of human rights, religion, and women, of mothers and daughters struggling to find themselves and each other against a midcentury backdrop of tumultuous change, uncertainty, and abiding love. Compassionate, genuine, hard to put down, it's also a tale for today, not to be missed., A sharp portrait of two women who struggled to shape their lives as their world changed.... A deeply insightful, empathetic family history., Our Revolution begins with the sudden, catastrophic death of a mother and ends only when that mother has been returned to vibrant, textured life by her memoirist and poet daughter. Here is that emergence, beautifully recorded, documented, and envisioned as feminist art and American history., [Moore] evokes the turbulence of the women's rights movement in this elegiac account of her mother's trek from Social Register to social justice activist., A monumental and loving excavation of a life so richly promising, and quenched so early.... It's a victory of awareness and self-distancing, the task of writing in order to see the self.... [Moore] makes sense of a complex history and of complex and intimate relationships in clear, nuanced, and strategically paced prose. The culmination comes in the form of the mutual understanding she and her mother were granted, or rather, granted each other, through remarkable powers of moral imagination--in both women. The daughter writer has made her writer mother live again., Our Revolution is a tour de force of a memoir, one that describes Honor Moore's upper-crust background and difficult relationship with her mother with equal parts tenderness and rigor. It will have something to say to anyone who has wondered at the mysteries of family lineage and the vexed journey to becoming an individual while holding on to a larger identity as a sibling and daughter., In Moore's supremely capable hands, what began as a labor of love and filial duty expands into a dazzling epic portrait of a fascinating American family and a mother-daughter story unlike any other. A superb feat of empathetic imagination and meticulous historical reconstruction, full of drama, passion, and the deepest wisdom., Our Revolution, Honor Moore's tender and unflinching portrait of her complex, privileged, wildly talented mother, has been my book companion for a week. I could not hope for better. Jenny McKean through her daughter's eyes is a deeply loving presence. Moore seamlessly blends her own voice with her mother's writings to create a compelling world of 1960s and '70s male idealism that rested upon the invisible labor of women., Honor Moore's vivid, compassionate, scrupulously honest portrait of her mother deftly charts the complex entanglements of family love, need, and pain. But this memoir-biography is also an intimate history of the ideas and events that jolted America during the three decades that followed the Second World War. The gaping rifts of class, race, and sex that set the country on fire then are still burning. Our Revolution is a book about those times for our times., Searching.... The process of understanding a parent, perhaps like memoir writing, never ends. The writer and the child return repeatedly to a collection of fragments, rearranging and reconsidering them in the shifting light of age.
Synopsis
With the sweep of an epic novel, Our Revolution follows charismatic and brilliant Jenny Moore, whose life changed as she became engaged in movements for peace and social justice. Decades after Jenny's early death, acclaimed poet and memoirist Honor Moore forges a new relationship with the seeker and truth teller she finds in her mother's writing. Our Revolution is a daughter's vivid, absorbing account of the mother who shaped her life as an artist and a woman, "beautifully recorded, documented, and envisioned as feminist art and American history" (Margo Jefferson)., A daughter's "tender and unflinching portrait of her complex, privileged, wildly talented mother" (Louise Erdrich) evolves beautifully into a narrative of the far-reaching changes in women's lives in the twentieth century., A daughter's "tender and unflinching portrait of her complex, privileged, wildly talented mother" (Louise Erdrich) evolves beautifully into a narrative of the far-reaching changes in women's lives in the twentieth century.
